If you ever wonder about knitters and crocheters in enchanted places, our new story by Michelle Edwards explores the wonderful world of knitting within the Harry Potter books. Also, check out a few of the great Harry Potter-inspired customer projects in our customer gallery. Looking for an elegant, but simple project? Our knit stole and crochet shawl patterns, each made with one ball of Romance are great projects for when you're on the go this summer. Another summer project that will make quite a statement is from our featured book: Hooked Bags. Our free pattern from the book, a two-tone crochet carryall, is great for the beach or for running your errands around town. |

As always, we have a great kit sale of the week -- a classic knit capelet for yourself or someone you love. And like the ubiquitous insect of summer nights, our featured cable stitch of the week is called "Firefly."
With Warmest Regards

Knitting Needles and Broomsticks
New Story by Michelle Edwards |
|
Some of us in the knitting world will wait to read the new Harry Potter book. We will turn the heel and Kitchener the toe. We will finish those socks. And wait for the moment when our offspring finish reading the very last page and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows becomes ours.
We knitters are good at waiting ... |

With all the knit items in the Harry Potter series, it's no wonder that so many fans have made projects of their own. Take a look at a few from our customer gallery: Cheri Adams-Good made her daughter a Gryffindor scarf just like Harry Potter's; Shelle B. Cain shows off her advance skills with a sweater like Molly Weasley's in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; and this great scarf in Ravenclaw colors is by Keena Lindsay.

| In pretty colors that go from day to night, our crochet shawl and knit stole patterns are both quick and simple. These lightweight wraps, which are great for keeping off a chill in the sea breeze or in an air-conditioned office, are each made of one ball of Romance. The shawl is also made with our Speed Hook, making it even faster to crochet. |
